Following the success of the four first Windsurf Challenge events, which where held in South Morocco, Indonesia and in Madagascar, we decided to keep the adventure alive by offering a new event to start 2007.

The Windsurf Challenge caravan stopped at Moulay Bouzerktoune, village of fishermen located at 15 miles in the north of Essaouira.

12 international competitors ranked amongst the world's top windsurfers were present for the Jet4you.com Windsurf Challenge : see details on Riders chapter.

For the first 3 days, we organized a challenge for the locals. With more than 20 youngsters registered 6 of the 12 pro riders formed the judging panel and the locals battled it out for prizes from NeilPryde and JP.

The official contest started on the Monday afternoon, but without Klaas Voget who broke his nose the morning during the free session !

Local rider Abderahim, who won the local contest, took Klaas's position and rode with the pros in the main competition.

As for the competition, it was the event's local boy, Boujmaa Guilloul who took it, narrowly beating Victor Fernandez in what was an explosive final. Having adapted well to the Moroccan conditions, Frenchie Baptiste Gossein managed a creditable 3rd place.
Here is the podium:
